It was an email with a link attached to accept. October 8th was the only specific date mentioned, but there was an option for wishing to interview at a different time that wasn’t specified. They also call to confirm the interview once I accepted online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

amh2021 Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Hey guys I know this is unrelated to UT but since you all applied in Florida I was wondering if anyone has looked into or applied to Gannon University in Ruskin, FL? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I live 5 minutes from this school and I did some research because I am starting to lose hope with my other schools...turns out the program is for high school graduates looking to become a PA in 5 years. SO the program is 5 yr long from what I am reading and they offer seats to bac students but preference is given to hs students. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a brand new 2 year program for after your bachelor's degree! I have an interview there on the 18th so I've been trying to see if others have applied! http://www.gannon.edu/Academic-Offerings/Health-Professions-and-Sciences/Graduate/Master-of-Physician-Assistant-Science/ This is the link to the program! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem, keep me updated if you decide to apply! They're in the same boat as UT with accreditation status so I figured it's worth a shot.

They have just started sending out interviews and plan on sending out about 200 invites. I just applied to the program last Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoonToBePAC Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 Congrats to those receiving interviews! I just happened to go back and check out the website again. I did not realize how expensive this program is projected to be. The website says $110,465 total (and that's not out of state cost). I know they're planning on having some pretty amazing resources but geez that's expensive for a brand new un-established program! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a new program who doesn't even yet have provisional accreditation and may not have it by the time their first class graduates, they should offer a discounted rate to at least that first class. That price is completely unethical and is the reason I chose to not apply to this program. If you can afford it, go for it, and good luck to all, but if UT staff are reading this - please reconsider your cost. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
